A 14-Foot Trailer and a Craigslist Ad
In 2007, Josh Roman launched Heaven on Wheels, a limousine service in Dallas. The business ran strong for over a decade, building a reputation for reliability and customer service that Josh carried into everything he did.
Then 2020 hit. The pandemic shut down events overnight. Instead of waiting for things to bounce back, Josh pivoted. He discovered the dumpster rental industry and figured if people trusted him to transport their families, they could trust him to haul their waste.
He bought a 14-foot cargo trailer, posted a Craigslist ad, and booked his first rental within hours. American AF Dumpsters was born — not from a business plan, but from pure hustle.
“What began as a survival move quickly gained momentum and transformed into a full-fledged business.”
